Nobody can write code that complies the first time. It is an iterative process. I know 5 different languages and if you wanted me to compile a program that prints “Hello World” the first time it would probably not compile. I would make some stupid syntax error. But the second time it would run just fine. This is a stupid test.

“Hello World!”

Somehow, that’s familiar.

Yes but you would at least change the syntax and retest the program expecting different results.

Boy, there has been a lot of change in the IT world since I dated Grace Hopper and they shot JFK down in Dallas. I’m finally retired and not missing it, although I have to fight the urge to dabble with LINUX every once in a while.
